BusinessEnglish1: Events and festivals of Hong Kong

Goodafternoon!

Here’s a new story I’ve got to tell about a city with a lot of curiosities.Today, dear readers, we arrived in Hong Kong. Hong Kong, known for its wide skyline and deep natural harbour.

Today I want to tell you all something about the events and festivals in Hong Kong. As I’m studying event- and projectmanagement it’s might be very interesting to study their manner of celebration.

Harbour light show

Everybody has already seen such nice experiments with light, as I lighten up the Ghent light festival, you will all know what I’m talking about. Anyway, the light festival in Hong Kong is a bit more spectacular also because of the reason that you can see it from far away. In the Guinness World Records it’s mentioned as the ‘World’s Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show”.

This light festival lightens more than 40 buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour. The music which takes care of a big empathy celebrates the energy, spirit and diversity of Hong Kong. This light show is really the most beautiful light & sound experience of my life.

In the articles base website there has been an article about the Victoria harbour, which is believed to be the most developing harbour of Hong Kong. It’s not only famous for its light and sounds show, also the very high architectural buildings are something very spectacular, certainly in combination with the lights.

Chinese festivals

-Chinese New Year-
This festival is the biggest festival of the (new) year. This festival is celebrated from the first day of the first month of the year until the 15^th day of the first month of the Chinese calendar. The exact calculation of the beginning of the new year is a bit intricate.

Each new year is also associated with an animal.
I would like to witness this celebration of the year once in my life, but for that I’ll have to come back another time.

Major venues

Hong Kong might be a very interesting city for all students of event- and project management. In every week of the year there’s something going on. Hong Kong has a lot of major venues which are always located next to a lot of hotels. We’ve visited some venues which we thought were interesting to see.
